It's a political move, that's actually part of why I think that France 
as a whole might move in the direction of open-source. They'll probably 
be among the first to say no to American software companies, and I truly 
can't blame them. The fact that so much surveillance is integrated into 
what both Microsoft and Google produce should be enough for them to 
blacklist the companies as a security move. In fact, when I went to the 
Azores during the summer, I couldn't help but notice that American cars 
are a rarity there. You'll find luxury German cars, obviously, but the 
most common cars which weren't at least two decades old were built in 
China. Similarly, companies like Xiaomi which don't put a dent at all in 
technology sales in North America are very common there. It sounds to me 
like Europe has already decided which superpower they prefer and it's 
not the United States.
